To achieve leadership on sustainability, organisations need to have a robust strategy in place to coordinate activities across their operations in line with an ambitious vision. We focus on helping you to create growth opportunities, drive the industry agenda and embrace innovation as your organisation transitions to a zero carbon economy.

For a powerful initial insight into how to achieve and sustain improved building performance, Verco can conduct an intensive 1 day audit that will identify opportunities to improve performance, ongoing performance monitoring and maintenance. The concise audit report provides clear actions with an indication of the range and magnitude of benefits of each action.
Our Managed Performance Service delivers and sustains performance improvements through the remote collection and analysis of meter and building management system data. Opportunities to reduce energy use, improve comfort and improve maintenance efficiency are identified. These are implemented through close co-operation with the site team, developing their skills and knowledge in the process.
Our Aim for zero service helps you to identify opportunities and risks in transitioning to net zero.
We explore scenarios and help set strategy, improving your ability to prosper and adapt to a net zero economy.
There is an increasing trend for our clients to go beyond simply being supplied units of energy by a utility. We support energy services supply by acting as a trusted advisor in strategic decision making, procurement support and undertaking bespoke research. Our advice is founded on sound technical understanding and a long-term view from 30 years’ experience in the sector.
Sustaining building performance requires a change in the culture of property and facilities management alongside the technical changes. In addition to our technical expertise Verco can provide a range of services to achieve this change. We can provide training and guidance to property and facilities managers and also advise on changes to contracts, processes and specifications to align with the ongoing delivery of energy reductions, comfort improvements and maintenance efficiencies.

Using our outstanding knowledge in environmental reporting, we deliver complex analytical commissions. We consider the whole value chain impacts of an organisation’s products as well as life-cycle assessments of specific products and services. You can then have confidence that your environmental strategy addresses the critical sources of impact.
The gap between the theoretical energy consumption of buildings as stated in Energy Performance Certificates in property transactions and their actual usage has emerged as a major flaw in the UK’s current decarbonisation approach. Verco is leading a market based initiative in partnership with the BBP and major real estate companies to demonstrate how the gap can be closed through ‘closing the loop’ between building designers and actual building performance.

The transition to a low carbon economy is the biggest change to the global energy system since industrialisation. The challenge is enormous, but working with our clients to find the best way forwards is what everyone at Verco is here to do
